A reviewer
I've read so many books about the Kennedys - some good, others seem to re-hash the 'same old stuff'. This one is particularly good. The author definitely is a JFK Jr fan but is not particularly taken with his big sister Caroline. She comes across as standoffish, snobby and very self-involved. I found it amusing that according to the author, JFK JR. called Caroline's hubby Ed Schlossberg - Edwina - probably because he appears to be a kept 'man'. Never seems to be able to find his niche. Finding Ed's niche seems to be financially supported by his wife's (Caroline) substantial fortune. This book is rather lengthy but I breezed through it in 3 days - definitely worth reading for all the Kennedy lovers in the world.

A great book full of information about this family
If you like reading about the Kennedys --- this book is all you really need. It is written concentrating on Caroline and John, Jr. However, you get a buffet full of family characters that we've read about in other publications. I learned alot about Jackie and how she raised her children. I'm glad to read that for the most part, Caroline and John, Jr were pretty normal, but still cared for by Jackie's sacrifice for her love of money and comfort. C Heymann certainly did alot of research for this book! Great read!

A little long in places
I felt the author was long-winded in some areas. How many times do we need to read that John was outgoing and Caroline is not? Or that John made friends with everyone and Caroline is uppity. I got a little weary reading that over and over. Nonetheless, I did overall enjoy the book and would recommend it to those interested in the subject matter.

Having read many books about the Kennedys, I would have to rate this as one of the best.
